The Kunlun special train departs from Urumqi, connecting the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang over a 14-day itinerary: from Turpan’s Flaming Mountain and Grape Valley to Kuqa’s Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon; from Pamir Plateau’s Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake to Taxkorgan’s Panlong Ancient Road; then via the southern section of the Duku Highway into Bayanbulak Grassland, followed by Nalati Sky Grassland and Kuerdening Forest Secret Realm; the latter half delves into northern Xinjiang, visiting Hemu, Kanas, and Colorful Beach, finally returning to Urumqi to check out Tianshan Tianchi and the International Grand Bazaar.
The entire route uses a loop design to avoid backtracking. The carriages are equipped with constant temperature systems, silent track technology, and some observation domes to ensure comfort.
